Pearls Mean Tears 🎩🧐 Jeeves and Wooster S2E3 🤷‍♂️🏰

Initially, Bertie is called to a coastal resort by Aunt Agatha, who has found a fitting matrimonial prospect for him. Coincidentally, the pearls that the young woman offers as security for a loan resemble those that have disappeared from Aunt Agatha's room... or is it mere happenstance? Subsequently, another of Bertie's friends finds himself betrothed to Honoria Glossop after losing track of the woman he intended to marry. At the same time, Jeeves appears uncharacteristically reluctant to help the friend regain his liberty.
